No, if fitted properly, they don't have to hurt. Also, always do feet warm ups before you go en pointe. And they will hurt for the first little while, but once they're broken in, you should be fine :)

You should be able to buy pointe shoes from the same place you buy your normal ballet shoes, or another dance supplies shop.

Ballet shoes are either slippers for practising or pointe shoes. Which, after a girl goes through pre-pointe possibly for one year, they can get pointe shoes then perform pointe! Guys do where ballet slippers but they do not go on pointe
